These cancellation charges are expressed in the table below as a percentage of the total holiday cost. The person who signed the Booking Form must notify all cancellations to us in writing and charges apply from the date that this notification is received at our offices (not the date of your letter or the date you post it). If you do wish to replace a canceled party member, please notify us as soon as possible. In any event we require notice at least 21 days before departure.

7. CHANGES BY US
A) Minor Changes. The arrangements made for the holidays described in this brochure are made many months in advance and therefore we must reserve the right to make changes when and where necessary. Changes are in most cases, minor ones that may include but are not limited to the withdrawal of certain facilities.
7. CANCELLATION BY US
There are very rare occasions when it becomes impossible to run a particular holiday and therefore necessary to cancel it completely. Such situations do not occur very often but we must reserve the right to do so at our discretion. If this does occur you will be offered an alternative holiday or a full refund of all monies.
9. SPECIAL REQUESTS
We are unable to accept ‘conditional bookings’. You are quite welcome to make special requests but we cannot guarantee that they can be fulfilled. If you have any special requests or requirements we will do our best to pass details on to the appropriate persons, provided that they are clearly noted on your Booking Form at the time that your booking is made. We must point out that failure to fulfill a special request cannot be considered as a breach of contract on the part of the Company.
10. EXCURSIONS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
A range of excursions and other activities can usually be purchased in advance, some activities are provided without charge. These may vary according to demand and other circumstances. We cannot guarantee that any particular excursion or activity will be offered for any given holiday, and compensation would not be paid in such circumstances. We also may refuse at our absolute discretion to accept a guest on an excursion or activity.
11. BEHAVIOR
BOP TRIPS is not a common carrier, therefore can refuse to carry a person whose behavior is detrimental to the enjoyment of others in the group. If the behavior of any member of any party is considered likely to cause offense, danger, damage or distress to others, we reserve the right at all times to cancel or terminate a holiday completely. If for example a coach driver, accommodation owner, or senior member of our staff considers that the behavior is unacceptable they are authorized to terminate a holiday whenever and wherever necessary. If this situation arises, our responsibility will cease and we will not be obliged to cover any expenses which may be incurred on the part of the party and neither will we consider or accept any claims for compensation whatsoever. We will also be within our rights to impose cancellation fees.
12. PROBLEMS WHILE ON HOLIDAY
We do everything possible to ensure that your holiday arrangements run smoothly, however if any sort of problem arises you should report it as quickly as possible to our representative or so that efforts can be made to rectify matters to your satisfaction. Many problems can be resolved on the spot, but if for some reason our representative is unable to resolve matters, the person who signed the booking form should write to our Head Office within 30 days of return from the holiday, explaining the problem fully, It is not necessary for any member of the party other than the person who made the booking to write to us.
If you have a complaint about your holiday which is not reported to our representative, but which could have been resolved had the issue been raised in transit, we cannot accept liability for compensation if you complain after returning home.
13. BROCHURE DESCRIPTIONS
The descriptions in this brochure are based on our experience and knowledge gained from regular visits, as well as from information supplied by others. However, circumstances can change, and we reserve the right to change any brochure particulars before you book. In addition, because our brochure is produced up to 13 months in advance and because the arrangements we feature are not under our direct control, it is possible that advertised features might not be available. For example, certain facilities and services may be reduced or withdrawn in low season or due to poor weather.
